Can I use this switch to control a 1/2 hp 115vac motor?

[Necnerd]

I have a 1/2 hp 115vac motor for an actuator. I’m wanting to use this switch to retract or extract the actuator. Basically up on the switch moves the cylinder till it hits a limit switch snd then shuts off. Put the switch in the down position and the cylinder goes down until it hits the limit switch inside the actuator housing…

Are you asking if it’s suitable for your intended use, or if the function of it will work the way you want to?

I’m trying to make sure there are no code violations. I’m basically going to use the switch to control the 1/2 hp actuator up and down turn it up the actuator moves up until it hits limit switch in the cylinder and shut off. Put the switch in the down position it moves it the opposite direction until it his the second set of limit switches

This is what I’ve got for the motor

Motor says therm protected

I don’t see anything wrong with it. Says the switch is rated for 1HP 120v. Well see what someone else has to say, but I would use it.

Looks like a suitable application to me as well.

Thanks guys once again I was over thinking this! This is the perfect solution.

Is the switch within sight of the actuator, if not you will need a way to lock it off.
